Yes, you need internet
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unfortunately yes. My system was hacked then overtaken by criminals which is why I am totally against using internet for security cameras. Internet especially Wi-Fi is too easy to hack especially since the criminals are getting too smart and devious. I would stay away from any surveillance system that relies only on Wi-Fi. The Arlo system connects directly from the base station to the router via Ethernet cable. It only uses Wi-Fi to monitor via cell phone. However, like in my case, when intruders had physical access to my router during repeat break ins, they were able to overtake my system and control it. Now the Arlo base station and two cameras will not work and have to be replaced. Personally I would go with a system that does not depend on internet at all even though they can be pricey. If you own a home get a real system. I live in apartments so I am stuck with this overpriced junk that isn't even reliable.
